Flor de Caña 18-Year

This rum is an easy 8 for me, nice and smooth with great flavour and a slow easy burn at the finish.

For sippers I can't imagine mixing. Dryer end of the spectrum ohh la la. As others have said, this must sit in the glass for 10-15 minutes, then sip casually. So much goodness to enjoy. Hints of vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, nutmeg, allspice. If your gig is sweet rums this will not be for you. Chill and enjoy!

Tastes is very round and sweet. One of the best rum in my cabinet

nicaragua cada vez me sorprende mas este ron de sabor extremo y notas en nariz a vainilla y cerezos su sistema de maduracion lo plantea como una de las grandes promesas de latinoamerica

Very nice straight up. One of my favorite brands..

Not as sweet as other rums I have tried but thats not necessarily a bad thing. It is smooth and no flavour is overpowering, so makes a very pleasant sipper. Still prefer the 12year El Dorado, but that is probably just personal taste.

Once poured in the glass, alcohol "hits" back surprisingly hard, for my taste, in the first place.
Even after allowing it to "breath" for a while presence of oak dominates, eliminating all other scents. Combined with it's "dry" character, the overall outcome can be characterized as quite indifferent...
Such a pity, expected so much more... Maybe the bottle is too impressive!

For an aged rum, it still remains a bit of the hay taste of typical agricultural rums. Not to my liking. The bottle is classy.

Amazing Rum for Zipping. Smooth and goes down easy. What a Rum!

Well I was very excited to buy this bottle but after uncorking it I must say not for me . The oak overtones or whiskey nose as I call it was (is) to much , I let the bottle breath and even put it in a decanter but I can't sip this and mixing doesn't make it better for me but that's what I'll do to get through it
In a rum and coke it is smooth and easy to drink with I must say a dry note in the throat .
I would buy the 12 flor de Cana any day over this one
But to each his own
